Xirion, your instights into my poor sense of humor were all correct, except for the use of the "un" qualifier.

Again thanks to everyone for the responses.

In particular, thanks to Leanthar for not only this response but for it all.
I think I have a vague inkling of the work involved in what you have done over the last 5 years, having done a "startup" while working fulltime. I hope you are able to get some sleep and family time.  Whith out having played yet, just having briefly read old posts and from the responses of the thread, it seems you have pulled together something that you and yours should be proud of.  

Last, to Darkstorme and Xirion, thanks, I was not trying to be obscure, but having spent years at the same table, I assume too much and include too little.

A question on etiquette?  What is the best way to respond to multiple people at one time.  Is what I wrote above sufficient or is the quote function clearer?

Everyone thanks again for the fast responces.

RE: Xirion
Been there, done that, want to know the mothers maiden name of the PC I played in the late 80's, or the shaft lenght of the archer from the 90's

Great
Is the new version going to have a new back story, meaning should I spend time reading something thats going to be outdated.  The reason I press this point is that I usally have detailed background on a PC and would not like to find it not needed.  Would a poorly done one suffice today?

Thanks for the quick responce.

I have not been able to find any due date other than Dec.

From what reading I have done of the background of this world I would expect it will take me 2 weeks or so to have well founded PC drawn up.

With this in mind do you think I would be well recieved with a poorly done PC that meets the basic stuff, allowing me to get a feel of the place and to get conected to people.  From what I read, the earlier version was simmilar enough that the experiance would be worth while and to be honest, my dice are cold.

Greetings All

I have to admit that I am flummoxed!

We  moved last year to a remote area 60 miles from nowhere and for the first time in over 20 years I have not been able to RP with my old group.  DSL became available last  month to us in the hinterlands of Missouri  and I started researching on line RP.  Which lead me here.

Everything I read sounded great.  Just what I wanted to get in to if I could not  sit at my old table.
So I down loaded the Gig of files needed and started doing background on a  PC.

And find that there is going to be a major change happening in Dec - OPPS.

Should I hold off on getting a PC started now?

Strider Dowding

PS  I usually get grief on  the Hubris of using Strider as a moniker.  It was given to me by my Cross Country coach as my team nickname in 1973, 3 days after I read the  long run in LotR.
